Quick-travel system: The host is having a blast in the small world
Chapter 287 9: "Subverting" the Entertainment Industry 9
Two days before the premiere of Love O2O, the rural-themed TV series A Harmonious Family Brings Good Fortune, starring Mu Wanqing, was simultaneously launched on H Province TV and the online platform Star Vision.
The drama focuses on the audience group of family elders. It coincides with the winter vacation, when family members are able to get together and watch the drama together, making the title of the drama particularly appropriate.
Audrey also watched the drama and recognized Mu Wanqing's acting skills after watching it. However, she was also a little worried. In two days, Love O2O will be broadcast. Home is undoubtedly its biggest competitor, but Audrey still has some luck. After all, the themes of the two dramas are very different. The target audience of Home is young people, which may reduce the impact on the ratings to a certain extent.
Facing Audrey's concerns, Lin Dai sneered and asked her a question: "Audrey, to be honest, are all the awards Mu Wanqing won before really not fake at all?"
Hearing this, Audrey was startled, then smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
"To be honest, even if that person is a movie queen, it is impossible for all the films she makes to be successful and good."
Lin Dai couldn't help but complain because she had watched a lot of TV dramas like this in real life, and she found them too melodramatic after watching them too many times.
On the day when Love O2O premiered, the top trending search on Weibo was: "Love O2O premiered on J Channel's prime time". No matter how hard other trending searches tried, they could not shake its top spot. Even the efforts of many fans and behind-the-scenes staff of A Happy Family were unable to dethrone it.
This phenomenon has triggered complaints from many netizens, who have accused the Weibo water army of being too rampant and too greedy. Therefore, in addition to the top of the list, many other hot search topics related to Weibo have emerged.
As an old hand in the circle, Audrey couldn't help but smile bitterly when faced with this phenomenon, but she also believed that there were gains and losses.
As the Spring Festival approaches, Mu Wanqing's new drama has been successfully aired. She only needs to occasionally cooperate with the drama party in some promotional activities, so she can go home and reunite with her family and spend the rest of the time together.
So, in the past two days, all the members of the Li family sat in front of the TV to support her new drama. Although the young people among them were not very interested in the drama, they still gave enough face and support due to the threat from the elders in the family.
Mu Wanqing's new agent Zhang Zhe was specially selected for her by Li Zhengrong. He would report any news on the Internet to his boss immediately.
Therefore, when Zhang Zhe discovered that Mu Wanqing's new drama had not made the list of hot searches online, he quickly reported the situation to Li Zhengrong.
After hearing this, Li Zhengrong immediately ordered Li's technical staff to solve this problem. However, after some efforts, Li's senior technical staff also failed to solve it.
When Li Zhengrong found out, his face suddenly darkened. He angrily called the person "waste" and hung up the phone, but he was still very clear about the capabilities of the Li family.
Then, he turned to look at Mu Wanqing and asked, "Wanqing, have you been in touch with Audrey recently?"
Mu Wanqing looked at him in confusion and replied, "No, we haven't been in touch since we ended our cooperation. What's wrong?"
Li Zhengrong's eyes showed mockery, and he slowly said, "I don't know which big boss she has clung to. Even my people can't find out who is behind her. Last time, she bid for the land in the suburbs with a price that was only 100 yuan higher than Li's, and we know nothing about her operation behind the scenes."
Mu Wanqing's expression couldn't help but become solemn. She tried hard to recall whether Audrey had any backers in her previous life, but found no trace.
Seeing that Mu Wanqing looked unhappy, Li Zhengrong quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, I will take care of it. The TV will start soon, let's go downstairs first, Mom and Dad are here."
Mu Wanqing nodded and went downstairs with Li Zhengrong.
The time for "Home" to be broadcast has come, and "Micro" has also started broadcasting.
As soon as the opening of "Micro" came out, it immediately aroused the curiosity and freshness of the audience. As the main film began, an exquisite game world slowly unfolded before the audience's eyes. The game scenes in it were produced in a unique way, with delicate and layered pictures, making people feel as if they were in the scene.
As the camera zooms in, the audience can clearly see that the player characters in the game are wearing all kinds of gorgeous clothes, holding various unique weapons, and are fighting a fierce battle with a powerful Boss. At this critical moment, the heroine player in the play descends from the sky with agile skills, cooperates with teammates, and finally successfully solves the Boss.
The opening broadcast of "Micro" was a success and was well received by the audience. Most of the audience who love playing games exclaimed that the game was particularly exquisitely designed, with clear and smooth graphics, and some even inquired whether this game really existed.
As one episode came to an end, the audience suddenly realized that time had passed so quickly. They were still not satisfied and could not wait for the second episode to be aired.
At the same time, the behind-the-scenes staff of J TV station are nervously watching the ratings. Although the ratings are not particularly impressive, the result for the first episode makes them even more excited about the subsequent ratings.
After the first episode was aired, the official Weibo account and the main actors also actively interacted with each other, and fans expressed that it was good and the subject matter was novel, which also triggered a lot of complaints and attention from the spectators and haters. They all implied that they were exaggerating, and we even decided to watch the show in person to verify the truth before complaining.
The online world is always full of surprises and twists. When a drama is criticized by many people, netizens will always try to find out with a mentality of "Oh, I want to see how bad it is"; but if a drama is widely praised, they will often reserve their opinions, saying "No matter how good it is, I have to verify it myself first."
So after the second episode of "Micro" was broadcast, the ratings were significantly higher than the first episode, and showed a steady upward trend. Those netizens who had originally been stubborn changed their sides, but there were also those who were stubborn and said lightly, "It's OK, it's just so-so." In fact, in the subsequent broadcasts, they were still following the show.
After the premiere, judging from the ratings, "Love O2O" undoubtedly got off to a good start, but further observation is needed to judge its true success.
In the lobby of Yunlu Villa, Audrey and Lin Dai watched Micro together. Looking at the beautiful game scenes, Audrey asked curiously: "The post-production of the game scenes in this drama is really amazing. Who did you ask to do it? The technology in our team doesn't seem to be at this level yet."
Lin Dai smiled slightly and answered mysteriously: "Keep it a secret! However, you do need to work hard to recruit more elites from various fields to our team."
In the following days, as more episodes were aired, an unexpected result emerged - the ratings of "Love O2O" gradually surpassed "Home Sweet Home".
Weibo has also gradually been dominated by discussions about the drama "Micro", especially among young audiences. They all said that the male lead in the drama is handsome and the female lead is beautiful, both of them have good acting skills, and the plot is also very good.
Of course, the school beauty played by Lin Dai in the play is also indispensable. Netizens are particularly fond of her looks. Most importantly, the female supporting role is also a spoiled girl from a wealthy family, which is particularly suitable for Lin Dai to play herself.
Some netizens also asked the officials, why not use their own artists to star in such a good drama?
Fengying Zhimeng Pictures also made a mischievous post on Weibo saying: The eldest lady said that she is only responsible for being beautiful, not for acting skills.
In response to this, other leading actors including myself also reposted the Weibo post, doing their best to praise someone's beauty.
As the drama gradually became popular, Fanqie Video quickly contacted them, hoping to purchase the exclusive online broadcasting rights. Fengying Dream Weaver Pictures readily agreed, but the copyright fee was much higher than before the broadcast. Fanqie Video agreed without hesitation, after all, the quality of the drama was very high.
As the New Year is coming to an end, the broadcast of "Micro" is slowly coming to an end. Many netizens have expressed that they cannot watch enough of it. However, with the rebroadcast of the show on TV stations and the launch of online platforms, the broadcast rate of "Micro" is increasing day by day.
All the staff were immersed in joy, especially Audrey, who found it unbelievable that her first official TV series as a director could achieve such a brilliant result. Full of excitement, she couldn't wait to find Lin Dai and discuss the shooting plan of the next play with great anticipation.
However, Lin Dai calmly suggested that she take out her mobile phone and check the Internet first.
Audrey was still immersed in the joy of success and took out her mobile phone without thinking too much, but when she saw the hot searches on Weibo, the smile on her face froze.
She never expected that Mu Wanqing would personally repost her Weibo and generously express her love and affirmation for the drama.
This move quickly caused an uproar on Weibo, with fans expressing their gratitude to the goddess for being magnanimous and praising Mu Wanqing with all kinds of flattery.
Audrey looked at the message on her phone, her brows furrowed unconsciously. She couldn't help but sigh at how clever Mu Wanqing's move was.
She turned to look at Lin Dai, her eyes full of hesitation and embarrassment. It was really inappropriate for her to respond to her given her current identity and situation, but if she didn't respond, she didn't know what kind of rumors would appear on the Internet.
"Lin Dai, you are my boss, what do you think I should do now?"
Lin Dai smiled and said calmly, "Just let the company's official blog respond."
So, the official Weibo of Guangying Zhimeng Films reposted Mu Wanqing’s Weibo and replied: Thank you for the praise from Queen Mu. "A Happy Family" is also a work worth watching.
Ever since Mu Wanqing forwarded Audrey's Weibo, Xiaojie has been following her instructions to closely monitor the online public opinion. When she saw that Audrey herself did not respond directly, but was responded to by the official of Guangying Zhimeng Films, to which she belonged, Xiaojie immediately informed Mu Wanqing of the situation.
After learning about this, Mu Wanqing felt a little unhappy at first, but after thinking calmly, she gradually understood the rationality of this approach.
Currently, they belong to two different companies, and their works are in conflict with each other. It is not convenient for Audrey to respond emotionally or logically.
Thinking about it, Mu Wanqing sighed, and stopped caring about it, and continued to conscientiously complete her first notice after the new year.
The matter was resolved, Audrey breathed a sigh of relief, her face instantly turned into an excited expression, and she continued to ask the questions she wanted to ask before.
"Miss, you promised me before that if this drama is successful, you will give me a big production for the next one. You have to keep your word."
Lin Dai couldn't help but laugh and cry when she saw her expression change so quickly, but facing Audrey's expectant eyes, she still said seriously: "Of course, but I have two dramas that I want to shoot at the same time. After all, the company's operating costs are too high, and the income from one drama at a time is too slow, although I am not short of money."
"Are you looking for another director to shoot? I know quite a few directors, I can recommend one."
Lin Dai smiled and shook her head: "Audrey, my drama will only be shot by our own people, no one else can do it. So, you have to dig a director from somewhere else. Our huge company can't have only you as a director."
After hearing this, Audrey thought it made sense and replied, "I'll try."
Then, Lin Dai took out two scripts and said, "One of these two is for you, and the other is for our future new director."
Audrey picked up the scripts on the table, looked at them carefully for a while, and then held one of the scripts and said excitedly, "I want this copy of The Legend of Zhen Huan!"
"You don't like the other one?" Lin Dai asked deliberately.
"No, that one, 'The Journey of Flower', is also very good, but I like this one better."
Lin Dai said seriously, "Audrey, are you sure? Both of these books are excellent, with completely different themes, but you must also recognize your own strengths. I'm afraid it's too early for you to read "The Legend of Zhen Huan"!"
Lin Dai's firm tone of refusal was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing Audrey's inner enthusiasm and excitement.
Her heart gradually calmed down and she fell into deep thought, carefully weighing her abilities and the compatibility of the two scripts.
After a moment, Audrey smiled with relief, looked at Lin Dai and said, "You are right, I don't have the ability to perfectly present the essence of this play. If I really direct it, it will definitely ruin the show, and I will become a sinner."
Lin Dai was very satisfied with her answer, but still encouraged her: "I believe in you, there will be opportunities in the future."
Audrey nodded firmly, then picked up another script and said, "In fact, this one is also a huge challenge for me. There is no larger fantasy drama on the market than this one, not even the one Mu Wanqing filmed before."
Lin Dai's eyes were filled with expectation and trust: "So, Audrey, you must work hard! I believe in you."
